For a self-proclaimed buddhist you seem remarkably unconcerned about your karma and kleshas.
I'm not that knowledgable about the buddhist approach to this concept... but it seems to me to be all about selfishness.
This whole "effect" thing is about selfishness.... "I" perceive something, therefore it must be true, even if the rest of the universe disagrees. "I" shifted realities, escaped a deadly situation, had to suffer because of my views... all the others, the people who have to deal with me, or even my "other self"... they don't really count.
There is a (not precise) quote somewhere in the thread when JE said something about the consequences of these "shifts": "My life isn't affected".
That's the gist of all of it.
The moon behaving different? Why should I be bothered? It's only some image in the sky; it doesn't affect me.
San Diego being in a different place? What does that has to do with me? I've never been to San Diego, and I wouldn't know the Bretagne from Brittney Spears if my life depended on it.
South African history being completely different if Mandela had died in the 80's. Yeah, so what? I'm not South African.
Ignorant, arrogant and selfish.
I don't want to sound like a disgruntled old man... but I have a feeling it's a problem with (some parts of) modern culture.
